What is deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning is a detailed, top-to-bottom cleaning of your whole home that reaches what routine housekeeping skips: baseboards, door frames and trim, light fixtures, ceiling fan blades, cabinet fronts, window tracks, vents, and the buildup that hides behind and under furniture.
Most homes we deep clean in Gresham fall into two camps. Either it's the first visit and we're bringing the whole house up to a standard our recurring house cleaning can maintain, or life got busy and the home needs a serious reset. Both are normal. Neither is judged.
Every deep clean is done by our licensed and insured team with health-conscious, bleach-free products, and we quote it around your actual home, not a square-footage formula.
What's included in a Tidy Sister deep clean?
A deep clean covers everything in a standard cleaning, then goes further into the corners, edges, and high-and-low places that collect dust and grime over months. Here's how that breaks down, room by room.

What a deep clean doesn't include
Inside the oven and the refrigerator are their own services, oven & stove cleaning and refrigerator cleaning, so they get real time instead of a rushed wipe. Carpet cleaning and window cleaning are separate too. Want any of them in the same visit? Mention it on the quote form and we'll build it in.
Deep cleaning vs. regular cleaning: what's actually different?
A regular cleaning maintains a home that's already in good shape; a deep cleaning resets one that isn't. The difference is depth and time: a deep clean works through the edges, buildup, and hidden surfaces a maintenance visit doesn't touch.
| Regular cleaning | Deep cleaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Maintaining visible surfaces | Buildup, edges, and hidden surfaces |
| Baseboards & trim | Spot-wiped as needed | Hand-wiped through the home |
| Behind & under furniture | Not moved | Cleaned wherever safely movable |
| Fans & light fixtures | Dusted in rotation | Washed and detailed |
| Window tracks & vents | Not included | Brushed and wiped |
| Time on site | Shorter, routine | Longer, scheduled for depth |
| Best for | Homes already on a cleaning rhythm | First visits, resets, seasons, events |
When should you book a deep clean?
Book a deep clean when the home has drifted past what a weekly wipe-down can fix, or when you're starting fresh: before recurring service begins, after a season of Pacific Northwest weather, ahead of guests, or after any project that made dust.
- You're starting recurring cleaning, and the first visit needs to reset the whole house
- You can't remember the last time the baseboards, vents, or fan blades were done
- Allergies are acting up indoors from dust, dander, and tracked-in pollen
- Guests are coming: holidays, a birthday, a new baby
- A remodel or repair left fine dust on every surface
- A gray, wet Oregon winter tracked mud and grit through the house

We plan the clean
Your home gets its own checklist. We bring professional, bleach-free supplies; you provide a working vacuum and a toilet brush per bathroom, so nothing is shared between homes.
-
The team gets to work
Methodical and top to bottom, room by room. You don't need to be home. Just secure any curious or anxious pets before we arrive.

Walk it with us
If you're home, we walk the finished rooms together. If not, you'll find a list of everything we did. Many clients roll straight into weekly, biweekly, or monthly service from here.
How much does a deep clean cost in Gresham?
Every quote is customized, because a small apartment that gets weekly attention and a family home that's gone a year without a full clean are entirely different jobs. We don't quote by formula, and we never surprise you at the end. Your price comes down to three things:
The size of your home
Square footage sets the baseline: more rooms, more surfaces, more time on site.
Its current condition
A minimalist's home cleans faster than a collector's, and your price reflects that honestly.
What you want done
Your priorities, plus add-ons like oven or refrigerator interiors, are priced up front with everything else.

Deep cleaning questions, answered
How long does a deep clean take?
Longer than a standard visit, and it varies with square footage, condition, and add-ons. When we build your quote we give you a realistic time window for your home instead of a one-size answer, so you can plan your day around it.
Do I need a deep clean before starting recurring service?
Usually, yes. A deep clean brings every room up to the standard your weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits are designed to maintain. Starting with a reset means your regular cleaner spends time keeping things nice instead of fighting old buildup.
Do you bring supplies for a deep clean?
Yes. Our cleaners arrive with professional-grade, bleach-free products and tools. We ask you to provide a working vacuum and a toilet brush for each bathroom; keeping those in your home prevents carrying germs between houses.
Do I need to be home during the deep clean?
No. Many Gresham clients let us in and head to work or errands. If you are out, we leave a list of everything we did. Just secure any anxious or escape-prone pets before we arrive.
Can I get a deep clean for only part of my home?
Yes. Some clients want the full house; others need us to concentrate on the kitchen and bathrooms, or a single floor. Tell us your priorities and we will quote exactly that.
Is a deep clean safe for kids and pets?
Our health-conscious, bleach-free products were chosen with busy households in mind, and we ventilate as we work. Kennel or secure pets that are anxious around new people; otherwise normal life can carry on around us.
